Enabling Next-Generation Mobile Broadband Services 2008-04-01 LSI

Face it: Wireline infrastructure, for all its longstanding capabilities, is becoming a thing of the past as the market clamors for more broadband, more content, and more mobility. These three elements result in a perfect storm of sorts; it isn't enough to have one or two of them. Broadband mobile content is the name of the game, and service providers must begin the process of creating infrastructure that will deliver it if they are to remain relevant. This paper walks the reader through a service creation scenario and the underlying technologies that LSI has created that will make it happen.

How Two Retired Navy Veterans Help New Recruits at the Great Lakes Naval Station Stay Connected With Family and Friends Without Torpedoing Their Paychecks 2008-02-13 Motorola

Web access for sailors stationed at the Great Lakes Naval Station is limited, slow, and lacks printers to make prints of letters from home, course assignments and pay information. Offsite locations are several miles away, have inconvenient hours, and are expensive to use. A cyber cafe within walking distance of the base was created by two Navy veterans who hired db3 Broadband to install Motorola's Canopy point-to-point wireless broadband network for fast, reliable web access. As a result sailors can purchase low cost monthly access packages to use the café's 15 computers with printers available as well as gaming systems to send letters and photos or play electronic games with family and friends worldwide.

Motorola Case Study: New Mexico Dairy 2008-02-13 Motorola

A dairy in New Mexico, which needed to build a communication link between their office and a new warehouse complex to track their multiple fluid milk product lines, was soured on the costs to trench and bury conventional communication cables beneath railroad tracks and paved lots. For help, the dairy turned to their communication's partner, Industrial Electric Automation, which recommended utilizing milk silos as towers to install a Canopy point-to-multipoint wireless broadband radios. As a result the dairy saved "A lot of money" on installation costs and the Canopy solution has exceeded expectations so much that transmission of barcode scans of all products in the warehouse to the firm's national database will be implemented to keep inventory updates fresh.

Motorola Case Study: Omsk, Russia 2008-02-13 Motorola

The service provider T-Service is deploying wireless broadband to cover as much as 90 percent of the territory of the city of Omsk, Russia, which supports a population of more than 1.4 million people. The network was originally planned to support the commercial transfer of information from filling stations and automatic teller machines, or what is often referred to as machine-to-machine communications. But the existing trunking system could not support high enough data speeds and did not provide the required coverage, so the carrier began looking for alternative solutions. It chose Motorola's Canopy wireless broadband system, which allowed T-Service to expand beyond its original business plan.

Motorola Case Study: E. W. Wylie Corporation 2008-02-13 Motorola

E. W. Wylie Corporation, a nationwide flatbed carrier, experienced unreliable wireless service that resulted in dispatch delays and late client deliveries. As a solution Motorola's Canopy point-to-point wireless broadband platform was deployed by Multiband, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Vicom, Inc. for the trucking company. Now, E.W. Wylie can receive and dispatch client orders nationwide over the Internet to its 120 truck fleet. As a result E .W. Wylie has improved nationwide customer delivery service through the use of Canopy's reliable, cost effective wireless service.

Do You Need a Broadband Remote Access Server?: Functionality and Trade-Offs of Using Smart DSLAMs and MSANs 2008-02-01 Juniper Networks

There are many misconceptions about the role of the DSL Forum's Broadband Network Gateway (BNG), better known as a Broadband Remote Access Server (BRAS) or Broadband Services Router (BSR). The BSR has evolved significantly from its original role of terminating PPPoX sessions. Proponents talk about enhanced subscriber management capabilities, while detractors claim that all needed functions can be done by a smart Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) or MSAN (Multiservice Access Node). There are several functions that must be performed to successfully support broadband traffic. This paper describes the key functions that may need to be implemented by the smart edge device, either the MSAN or the BSR.

Spectrum Analysis for Future LTE Deployments 2008-01-09 Motorola

LTE (Long Term Evolution) promises to deliver an unrivalled user experience with ultra fast broadband and very low latency and at the same time, a very compelling business proposition for operators with flexible spectrum bandwidth, smooth migration and the ability to deliver low cost per bit voice and data services. With LTE's ability to interconnect with other access technologies, operators will be able to converge their LTE and Fixed line broadband networks, creating the opportunity to deliver subscribers truly seamless communications. Radio frequency is a valuable and finite resource and, today, there is simply not enough to satisfy demand.

Mobile Broadband 2007-12-01 Dell

It's next to impossible to find a laptop without built-in wi-fi these days. With high speed access and a growing number of hotspots and other access points, wi-fi is a blessing to mobile workers around the globe. Mobile broadband, based on 3G (third generation) wireless broadband technologies, now provides much greater performance than in the past, with average download rates of 400-700kbps, or about 50x faster than earlier networks. And with mobile broadband one can get a connection anywhere one can get a cell phone signal, which is pretty much anywhere in the U.S. that mobile workers are likely to be found. Costs have dropped significantly, with plans averaging closer to $50 per month.
